I've honestly never been happier that I choose to become politically independent way back in the 1990's than today.
The Republicans are bat-shit crazy, and the Democrats are either criminally incompetent, or are deliberately trying to run the country into the ground.
What a mess.
@emkenobi But we didn't know every detail of every person's life back then. Sure, people suspected Freddie was gay, but you didn't really KNOW. And that was fine. Nobody really cared either.
Same was true for Elton, George Michael, and a half dozen other famous people.
@MeghanMcCain@BarackObama If Obama had said these things during the elections, standing up against the character assassinations of his allies in the media, we would probably not have ended up with Trump in 2016.
Obama allowed his allies to smear them then. His words are hollow now.
@WesternLensman The government literally spends trillions every year. It's disturbing that they are fantasizing about what they would do if they seized the assets of one citizen. As if they would suddenly have enough to solve all our problems.
@KVOA Does the plan include charging the people who ride the bus to ride the bus?
Because the people who don't ride the bus shouldn't be paying for the people who ride the bus.
@Houseofyogi The city of Tempe, AZ did something similar when the NHL Coyotes wanted to build an arena there.
The Coyotes were going to clean up an old toxic dump, build an arena and entertainment dist. The city residents voted no. They kept the dump.
And we lost the team to Utah.
@_CharlesPreston We are all only the color of our skin. No one has an individual backstory, no one has a unique set of life experiences that shapes their personality.
Just skin color.
@JoshCo82@agraybee There is a short story about the trash compactor monster in a book called "From a Certain Point of View."
Explains how it got there.
@RealTimers@DavidAFrench@billmaher@dgjones@HBO If you come in, don't learn the language, don't assimilate into the culture, and don't try to become part of the community, you will have trouble being accepted. Then you tell the people that they are the problem and need to change to accommodate you, they will never accept you.
